Datang: Showdown, your father and I are Li Shimin

Chapter 44 Scientific Farming
Li Er has always believed in everything his eldest son said.

But the others, even though they were facing His Highness the First Prince, felt a little uncertain in their hearts.

After all, there is no grain with a production capacity of [-] shi per mu, and grain with a production capacity of [-] shi is simply illusory.

But after thinking about it, His Highness the First Prince is a medical officer after all, and he has never farmed land, so it is understandable.

Maybe it was when those traveling merchants passed by, in order to sell it for a good price, to trick His Highness the First Prince.

"Your Majesty? What's wrong with you?" Li Ze looked suspiciously at the crowd who kept their movements unchanged, and waved at them.

Li Er shuddered all over, and found that Li Ze was looking at him with a strange expression, so he lifted his foot and continued walking towards the carriage.

Fang Xuanling was startled, his eyes gradually came out of the trance, and asked: "Did you buy these things from foreign merchants? Have you ever actually planted them?"

Li Ze thought about it, the source of this thing is really hard to say.

You can't say that this is given by the system in your body, right?

And from the old man's tone, it seems that he doesn't believe in fifty shi per mu.

It's okay, when the seeds are planted, you will naturally know whether it is true or false.

So Li Ze simply went down the donkey and said, "Return to Fang Shangshu, this thing really came from a foreign merchant."

Fang Xuanling listened, smiled lightly, and stroked his beard.

Since others are also relieved, it seems that the eldest prince is really naive, and was deceived so easily.

Everyone surrounded the carriage, Li Ze tore off a bag of potatoes, opened the bag, and a khaki crop the size of a fist appeared in front of them.

At the same time, he tore open a cloth bag on the car, which was full of yellow particles like horse teeth.

Several big men gathered around a sack, looking down at the potatoes and corn in the sack.

"This is what I call the grain that can yield fifty shi per mu. The big ones are called potatoes and the small ones are called corn. If they are planted properly and the soil is fertile, even if the yield per mu is sixty or seventy shi, it will not be enough." Question." Li Ze explained to everyone confidently.

But Fang Xuanling and the others thought they were naive. Li Ze was tricked by the sweet words of the foreign businessman, and casually weighed the potatoes in his hands.

However, Li Er was completely different from everyone else.

Li Er held a potato in both hands, trembling with excitement: "Fifty shi per mu... fifty shi, if it can be planted in large quantities, wouldn't Datang no longer worry about the lack of grain in the grain depot from now on!"

Seeing Li Er's excited appearance, Fang Xuanling and others were speechless for a while.

Hasn't this been planted yet?
What if the businessman just brags casually?
But seeing Li Er so excited, Fang Xuanling and others couldn't speak out, they just pretended not to notice Li Er's performance.

Li Er was excited for a while, and then asked: "Master Li, you are here this time to try planting this batch of potatoes?"

Li Ze nodded slightly: "That's right, smallpox was raging in Du Village, and hundreds of thousands of victims gathered. Most of them were family members. When the smallpox subsides, they have no land in their hands. After the disaster subsides, it is not easy to continue to send money." Disaster relief food, so I want to cultivate a batch of high-yield and fast-ripening food."

After hearing this, Li Er nodded and praised repeatedly: "Yes, yes! Miracle doctor Li is thoughtful, and he has already considered matters after the disaster is over!"

However, Li Ze actually wanted to improve Datang's food. He made cakes and porridge every day, and Li Ze would vomit all he ate.

Isn't the potato shredded pancake delicious?Isn't grilled corn delicious?Don't the French fries taste good?

After finishing speaking, Li Er looked at the ministers around him. He would definitely not do it himself: "Are you willing to recommend yourself to plant this batch of grain?"

I was speechless for a long time.

It seems that everyone doesn't want to farm, so Li Er decided to draw a lottery. He looked at the ministers fiercely. For some reason, Li Er finally fixed his eyes on Wei Zheng's face. This guy always hates himself. As long as he is around, he will There is never a moment to relax.

During this period of time, he was asked to take care of the salt mine, and he finally had a little time to relax.

If he was allowed to farm for me again, wouldn't I have more free time?
When Wei Zheng was looking down at Tudou, he suddenly felt that someone was staring at him. When he looked up, it was indeed Li Er who was looking at him with fiery eyes. Going to farm, Wei Zheng hurriedly cupped his hands towards Li Ergong and said, "Your Majesty... I still have to take care of the salt mine and Pei Ji's black salt market, so I'm afraid I have no time to worry about agriculture."

It is impossible to farm the land. As the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, if he were to farm the land, how embarrassing would it be?

Although I really don't care about those false names, my duty is to correct Li Er not to make mistakes and not to be idle. If I am so busy, who will monitor Li Er?
Seeing Wei Zheng's refusal in advance, Li Er couldn't help frowning, and then looked at the other people, and finally set his eyes on Changsun Wuji: "Auxiliary machine... If these potatoes can really grow five The output of ten stones, then this is a very important strategic material! You see, something so important to Datang, I can only give it to you with confidence."

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Eryi's sincere face, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and bowed his hands to Li Er in embarrassment: "Thanks to His Majesty, I will definitely fulfill my mission."

Seeing that Changsun Wuji agreed, Li Er immediately beamed with joy, slapped his hands happily and said, "Also, you must keep this matter a secret! Such an important thing should not be known to the outside world for the time being."

Changsun Wuji gave Li Er a secret look.

The majestic prime minister of the Tang Dynasty ran out to farm. If anyone dares to spread the word, his mouth will be torn apart.

Changsun Wuji sighed helplessly, then turned to look at Li Ze and asked, "Since His Majesty has entrusted me with this task, it is still necessary for Dr. Li to teach me the method of planting."

"That's natural!" Li Ze patted his chest with confidence, and immediately led the crowd to an open space next to the carriage.

Randomly picked up a stone from the ground, and drew a rectangle on the ground.

The crowd squatted on the ground following Li Ze in bewilderment, watching the movements in Li Ze's hands.

Li Ze pointed to the rectangle on the ground, and at the same time took out potatoes and corn and put them aside: "Let's talk about the planting method first, the yield of this corn can reach up to twelve stones per mu, and the yield of potatoes can reach 45 stones per mu. It is a conservative estimate, and these two crops need a large distance when planting, so you can use the method of interplanting to rationally use every inch of land. It is conservatively estimated that if the two crops are interplanted together, one mu of land can harvest [-] shi of crops. "

While talking, Li Ze drew rows of circles and rows of dots on the giant: "As long as you control the planting time, you can make reasonable use of the growing period of potatoes and corn, so that the two kinds of plants can be completely grown." Different plants complement each other, with complementary advantages and disadvantages to increase yield."

Li Er and the ministers looked confused and looked at each other.

Although they haven't planted land yet, they have at least seen it. Can they see pigs running without eating pork?

But it was the first time they had heard of interplanting.

It sounds like it's awesome.

"There's so much knowledge about farming?" Changsun Wuji stared at Li Ze in surprise.
